INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Some leaders communicate beautifully when the environment is controlled. But then the stakes shift and suddenly, the clarity, authority, and confidence they had in rehearsal starts to collapse. In this episode of Work Unscripted, Marlo Lyons sits down with executive presence coach Kathryn Janicek to talk about why executive presence breaks down in high-pressure moments, and how leaders can rebuild it in real time.
As former TV news reporters, Marlo and Kathryn both understand what it means to think on your feet, stay present under pressure, and recover when something does not go perfectly.
You’ll learn:
- Why strong leaders lose clarity when the environment becomes unpredictable
- The hidden gap between prepared communication and real-time executive performance
- How mindset affects body language, tone, and credibility
- Why nonverbal signals can reinforce or erode trust in seconds
- How to recover when you stumble, freeze, or get triggered
- Why sleep, stress, burnout, and self-care show up in your leadership presence
- How leaders can prepare for investor conversations, board scrutiny, unscripted Q&A, and high-stakes meetings
If you are a leader, executive, founder, or high-performing professional who needs to communicate clearly when the pressure is on, this episode will help you understand what your presence is really saying.
Because executive presence is not just how you perform when everything goes according to plan. It is how you lead when it doesn’t.
